Notes for J

ESSE HORTON II:

In 1800, the Jesse Horton household in Wake County, NC, consisted of Jesse, Sarah, Jane
Emeline, and a young gentleman 16-26 years old, possibly one of Jesse's or Sarah's
brothers. At this time Jesse owned no slaves. This same year Jesse served as the
administrator of the estate of Isaac Chamblee his father-in-law, who died intestate that
year. Jesse received 36 acres "in right of his wife."

In 1816 Jesse Horton was taxed for 259 3/4 acres (probably someone else's) plus 919
acres. In 1817 and 1818 he was taxed for only the 919 acres. In 1819 his taxable acreage
was 1,161, as it was in 1820, plus 4 slaves.

In 1821 Jesse was taxed for 1,331 acres and 5 slaves. During this year Jesse served as
executor of the estate of his deceased father Amos Horton (Jr.). According to the will of
Amos Horton, written March 28, 1821 and was probated August 18 of that year. Jesse
received "all my lands on the north side of the Road, by his paying Drury Horton $50,
and also two negros Barn and Eady." This will, of which Jesse was executor, was
probated in August 1822. In 1822 Jesse was not listed in the tax lists, having moved to
Alabama, but in 1823-25 his brother Hartwell was taxed "for Jesse Horton"
several hundred acres of land. Jesse had taken his slaves to Alabama. According to family
sources, Jesse moved his family to Blount County, Alabama, in 1822. His youngest daughter,
Eliza, was born in 1823 there in Blount County. Other Hortons settled in Blount County and
Jesse may have simply stayed there until Sarah delivered and was able to travel to move on
to Greene County.

In 1824 the Jesse Horton family, including 8 slaves, moved to Greene County, Alabama,
settling in the vicinity of Pleasant Ridge in the northeastern corner of the county. Jesse
appeared on the tax lists of Wake County, North Carolina, until 1822 when he possibly
moved to Blount County, Alabama. In late 1825 Jesse travelled back to Wake County to sell
the remainder of his land and settle his affairs in that state, concluding two land sales
in January 1826.

The 1830 Census of Greene County, Alabama, lists Jesse Horton with three sons (Jesse
Habbord, 11, William, 18, and John D., 16) and three daughters (Elizabeth M., Mariah, and
MaryAnn Rebecca) with his wife Sarah. Jesse owned 19 slaves at this time.

On December 1, 1830, Jesse acquired 79.87 acres of land in Pleasant Ridge through the
Tuscaloosa Land Office. Jesse purchased 320 acres from David Scott and Edward Sims on
August 4, 1831 for $1600. On January 10, 1832, he acquired 158.67 more acres nearby. Jesse
gained 40.03 acres through the Tuscaloosa Office on March 30, 1837. Later that year, on
August 18, Jesse purchased 235 acres from Albert, Hamilton, Mary, and Sarah McGowen for
$2000.

In 1840 the Jesse Horton household consisted of Jesse, Sarah, William and his wife
Marcia, and a boy 5-10 years old, possibly George Washington Horton, son of Elizabeth and
John Henry. Jesse owned 23 slaves this year. On March 2 of this year Jesse purchased land
from his son-in-law George W. Rives, husband of daughter Candice.

On April 21, 1841 Jesse purchased 285 acres from the Achilles Edwards' estate for
$1650. In June of 1847 Jesse conveyed through "natural love and affection" 240
acres along with three Negro slaves: Abe, 24, Harriet, 20, and Esther, 14 to his daughter
Candice, wife of George W. Rives. These were put in a trust, with son John D. as trustee,
for the life of Candice. The proceeds of these properties were to be conveyed to Candice
or her heirs. Apparently about this time George and Candice moved to Morehouse Parish,
Louisiana, and Jesse felt some need to provide for her.

By 1850, all the children were gone, and Jesse and Sarah lived on their plantation with
25 slaves, 13 of whom were of age to be field hands. In the 1850 U.S. Census Agricultural
Returns, Jesse Horton is shown with the following, the yearly production for 1849:

Estate of Jesse Horton, Greene County, Alabama: enumeration of heirs--

ANE EMELINE5 HORTON (JESSE4, AMOS3, AMOS2,
DANIEL1) was born 1800
in Wake County, North Carolina, and died January 1830 in Franklin County, Alabama. She
married JESSE JONES December 25, 1818 in Wake County, North Carolina, son of WILLIAM JONES and DINAH VADEN. He was born May 20, 1796 in
Wake County, North Carolina, and died May 17, 1856 in Franklin County, Alabama.

Notes for J

ESSE JONES:
For example, Jane Emeline Horton's husband was Jesse Jones, not Thomas Jesse. I do not
know where this rumor started, but there is no proof I have ever seen that his first name
was Thomas. He did not serve in the Civil War, but may have served in the Indian Wars in
the 1830's. He would have been close to 70 years old at the time of the Civil War and was
not born in time to serve in the Rev. War.

In addition, it is extremely unlikely that Jane Emeline died in Franklin Co. or that
their kids were born there as he did not purchase land there
until 1849 after Jane's death and after his second marriage to Rhoda Bolton, the sister of
his son-in-law Benjamin Littleberry Bolton. Rhoda
was living with her parents in Pickens (later Greene Co.) at the time of their marriage;
her parents never moved to Franklin Co. although most of
their children did starting around 1840. Jesse was the son of Wm. Jones and Dinah (Vaden)
Jones; their graves are marked today in the
Greenhill-Ezzell Cemetery where they were moved from the Jones Cemetery after the TVA
thought the Jones Cemetery would be flooded after Cedar Creek became a reservoir.

There is some possibility that some of Jesse's and Jane's kids may have been born in
GA. This is something we need to research further. They may have lived there a short while
before moving to Pickens/Greene. You also have the birth dates incomplete or inaccurate
for Jesse and Jane's kids: Emeline was born 12/15/1819, Dinah Maisy Jane was born
3/2/1824, Sarah Ann was born 2/9/1827, and Wm. Lewis (note spelling) was born 1/24//1830.
Since Jesse married Rhoda in Pickens/Greene @1832, it is extremely unlikely that Wm. Lewis
was born in Fayette Co. AL. These dates came either from Benjamin Littleberry's Bible or
from their cemetery headstones. The middle names came from legal documents such as the
power of atty. they all signed for James Massey, Sarah's husband, to get their inheritance
from their grandfather's estate.

By they way, Jane Bolton married Wm. Carroll Hester; you have a blank in her
grandmother's will as to his first name.

I notice you have a more specific death date for Jane Horton Jones than I do; could you
tell me where you got yours? We merely had that it was before 1832. She probably died in
childbirth with Wm. Lewis. By the way, Jesse Horton's "marriage" to Betsy
Fowler, as far as I know, is evidenced only by a N.C. marriage bond. Since he married
Sarah Chamblee a mere 3 months later, and no children are purported to be born by Betsy
Fowler, isn't it possible that this was merely a license to marry that was never used and
that his marriage to Sarah Chamblee was his only marriage?

Dinah and Andrew Turner Bonds had 12 kids: I have them if you want them.

Sarah Ann and James Massey had 14 kids: I have them if you want them.

Wm. Lewis died May 5, 1853 and never married or had kids. Emeline and

Benjamin Littleberry had at least 7 kids; there was another one listed on the census
that was not in their Bible. If he is their child, that would be 8 kids. I also have them
if you want them.

Enough info for now except that we have the Bolton family reunion each year on land
owned by Jesse Jones and Rhoda Bolton Jones on Cedar Creek in Franklin Co. It is
wonderful. -- Carla Tate

LIZABETH MARCIA5 HORTON (JESSE4, AMOS3, AMOS2,
DANIEL1) was born
January 17, 1802 in Wake County, North Carolina, and died December 16, 1864 in Leake
County, Mississippi. She married (1) JOHN MADISON HENRY
July 4, 1840 in Greene County, Alabama, son of SAMUEL HENRY and REBECCA BRAEMER. He was born Abt. 1790, and
died Abt. 1842 in Neshoba County, Mississippi. She married (2) JOHN WILLIAM SLAUGHTER Abt. 1844 in Leake County, Mississippi, son of OWEN SLAUGHTER and MARY MCDONALD. He was born 1795 in North Carolina, and died 1847 in Leake County, Mississippi.

I have just been viewing your SLAUGHTER family information on Ancestry.com and, while I
am not sure that they are the same, there is a strong chance that your John William
SLAUGHTER and first wife, Susan are the same as my great, great grandparents, John M.
SLAUGHTER and wife, Susan CROUCH, or were, possibly related. My Susan was the daughter of
Samuel and Sarah CROUCH from North Carolina and my John M. SLAUGHTER was the son of Owen
SLAUGHTER and born in North Carolina. He and Susan had a daughter named Susan and John's
brother had a son named William or John William. My great grandfather was Hutson/Hudson
H./Harris? SLAUGHTER, born in March of 1844 in Greene Co., AL and Susan SLAUGHTER died 10
days later, probably due to complications of childbirth. I believe they were also in
Pickens Co., AL. Hutson/Hudson SLAUGHTER joined the Confederate Army at age 16 years and
married Claranda 'Clara' WILLIAMS, born: ??, parents: ?? They were the parents of my
grandfather, Louis Hector SLAUGHTER who married three times, the third was my grandmother,
Ethel Rosalee HATTEN (m. WOMACK.)

If you think that there is a connection with our SLAUGHTER families please contact me.
Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick Barnett

This was forwarded to me by a researcher of an additional SLAUGHTER line I am working
and this is of our family, thought you would be interested if you hadn't already seen it.
I believe the preacher that is referred to is George Webb SLAUGHTER.

THOMAS ACEY BROWN "I was born in Rusk County in 1860," says Mr. Thomas Acey
Brown. My father was a ful-blooded Englishman and mother was Scotch Irish. "I was
about 17 years old when I left Rusk County ,, looking for a ranch job. I meandered over
into the Palo Pinto and Ranger section, where I worked for the old Slaughter outfit.
Everybody knowed that Slaughter bunch all over the states. The old man was a Baptist
preacher, C. C. Slaughter was a banker in Dallas and was worth over three million. Lum,
another son, was the black sheep, did a little gambling and everything else that came his
way. Bill and John were ranchmen, on a large scale. The whole outfit owned a great part of
Texas . They just kept right on, right on growing up with Texas . That's why they were so
famous. I worked with that outfit for several years during round-up times. "Old
preacher Slaughter and Ross captured an Indian boy when he was just a little shaver; he
had growed to be about 25 years old when I worked for them. This Indian boy was a mighty
fine rider, did most all the breaking of Slaughter's horses. He never wanted to go back to
his tribe after he was grown. "When I was up in Palo Pinto County , I heard about an
Indian climbing over a high rail fence when a guard shot him, and he died standin'
straight up, leanin' against that fence; then the settlers tied him to a horse's tall and
dragged his into town. They all gathered around, skinned him, and made quirts out of his
hide. "Yes and I heard about them Indians a-skinnin' a white man alive and him a
livin' over it too; don't know if it was so or not, I just heard it. "I knowed Jessie
and Frank James, Sam Bass's bunch, (Blackie) Frank Jackson, and Warren Jackson, they were
all train robbers of the Texas Pacific. These robbers and Indians would get back in them
Palo Pinto hills and nobody could get 'em out without puttin' hounds in after 'em.
"The killin' of Sam Bass was all a plot, they didn't get him fair. Old Murphy plotted
a way to catch him, went into Round Rock to get a shave and gave officers a signal when he
passed by. The officers surrounded the bunch and killed Sam. Then Jackson took a shot at
Murphy when he was in the barber chair, but didn't kill him. "There was lots of wild
people in this country when I came out here but they didn't get out much. These wasn't bad
fellers; anyway we didn't think so then. They'd come out and do a little robbin' and give
any poor person in need some money; they never killed unless they were forced to. Every
one of them boys was drove to doin' what they done; ain't like the skunks now-a-days hold
you up for two-bits, then killed you for not havin' it. These here preachers! If I don't
roast 'em when they come to my house a-tellin' us to pray. 'Pray, pray, don't forget to
pray, brother! Just go to it boys but don't forget to pray when you got to the forks of
the road.' Why, Clyde and Bonnie prayed every day-can't tell by that. These here meetin's
where they get down and roll and then have to drag 'em out in the brush and fan 'em. Bah!
Ain't no more to them than these doctors hum-buggin' around. Why, here I am 78 years old,
takin' medicine for my kidneys and it ain't a-doin' me no good. I can't hold out to walk
at all and I used to be as good as a horse. I've slept in wet blankets too long I guess,
'til I'm just dead now, still a-walkin' but I'm dead just the same. Sometimes I do take a
tumble but just get up and keep a-goin'. I don't mean to fool with them doctors though.
Oh! These doctors and preachers; it's a wonder to me anyone is a-livin' now-a-days. One
will tell you, you are goin' to hell and the other quack a-givin' somethin' he doesn't
know if it will kill or cure. Then they talk about the bad boys robbin' trains long ago. I
know which I'm for. "After I left the Palo Pinto Country, I went on down around Fort
McKavett and the Brady section a-workin' for Dwight Benjamin. There were only two old
boxed cabins at Fort McKavett at that time. "A bunch of Indians came through them
parts and killed several white men and just cleaned Brady of horses. "An old man was
goin' down the road in a wagon when three Indians a-walkin' and two on horseback went up
and killed the old feller, cut his horses loose and took one of them; the other one got
away and ran home. The family knew something had happened. The same horse ran home once
before when Indians attacked the old man and he was saved that time. The Indians went on
and made their next raid at Salt Gap, killing a Mexican and taking a bunch of horses from
there. The soldiers from Fort Concho and Fort McKavett followed but they were led further
and further away from water until they were starved out. The old broken down horses were
all they ever got back. "There was plenty of trouble over that wire cuttin' business
and nobody was ever supposed to know who done the cuttin'. "They didn't have many
ranches in them days, camps were scattered over the range and they tried to stretch a
little wire around some of the land and make a ranch. It didn't do no good for a long
time. This was the cause of the cattlemen and sheepmen's little fussin'. It didn't amount
to much where I was, of course the cowmen would run the sheep off their range but they'd
come right back since there wasn't no fences. "Speakin' of stampedes, I never seen
one happen with the cattle on home grounds. When they were on strange ground the least
little noise would just scare the life out of 'em. "I've rode some mighty bad horses
in my days; never struck but a few I couldn't tame. I always tamed them before I rode 'em.
These rodeo horses are not so bad. Four or five men get in the stall and go to throwin'
saddle, ropes, and stuff all over them and get 'em scared to death before they bring 'em
out. The boys used to say I could conjure them. Why, l've led a-many a-one right out of a
lot when he had never had as much as a halter on before. I pet him up a little, get right
on and they never pitched a bit. These rodeo horses think they supposed to pitch and go
right ahead and do it. "I knowed Booger Red real well; I just lived across the
mountain from him, when he lived on a little ranch out from San Angelo. He was makin'
merry at Christmas time and bored a hole in a tree, filled it full of gun powder, then
struck a match to it, and it blowed him up. That's why he was so ugly. He naturally was
red headed and freckle faced, then when this powder black specked him and blowed both eyes
side-ways, he sure was a booger. He was a mighty good rider when he was a boy and I guess
he did get to be a real rider after he had so much practice in his shows. They say he had
a boy that was about as good as he was. "I went back to East Texas and got married
when I was 37 years old, and settled down. I came back out here about 25 years ago and
have stuck pretty close since." (From WPA Life Histories, interview with Mr. Thomas
Acey Brown, Tennyson, Texas, interviewed, February 1, 1938.)

MASON, CAIN and many, many more. . .

I am still looking for any information regarding my great grandfather,
Hudson/Hutson H.(Harris?) SLAUGHTER. Information was shared with me a few
months ago that Hudson's stepmother was Elizabeth Marcia HORTON, (daughter of
Jesse HORTON and, I believe, Elizabeth CHAMBLEE,) and Elizabeth was the widow and
2nd wife of Reverend John Madison HENRY and she married her 2nd husband, my 2nd great
grandfather, John M. SLAUGHTER, born: abt. 1795 in NC, (son of Mary McDANIEL/McDONALD and
husband: Owen SLAUGHTER, II,) after Susan L. CROUCH, my 2nd great grandmother, died: 23
Mar 1844, at abt. age 29 years old, died abt. 10 days after Hudson was born on 13
Mar 1844, apparently due to complications during childbirth. Susan L. CROUCH, born: abt.
1815 in NC was the daughter of Sarah ? and Samuel CROUCH, born: abt. 1785. Hudson's
father, John M. SLAUGHTER, born: abt. 1795, married Elizabeth Marcia HORTON shortly after
Susan's death and they had a daughter named Marcia/Marsha SLAUGHTER that I am told died as
a young girl after her father, John M. SLAUGHTER, died in abt. 1846/47 and Marsha/Marcia
SLAUGHTER, (born: abt. 1845/46) would have died sometime after the 1850 census came out
which showed she and her brother, George Washington HORTON, and their mother, Elizabeth
Marcia HORTON HENRY SLAUGHTER, with Elizabeth as the head of the household but the
information that I received does not show that Hudson/Hutson H. SLAUGHTER, who would have
been abt. 6 years old at the time, was in their household. Does anyone know where Hudson
SLAUGHTER was then? Does anyone know how Marsha SLAUGHTER died? And how her father, John
M. SLAUGHTER died? I have wondered greatly about what happened to this little boy,
Hudson/Hutson H. SLAUGHTER, my great grandfather, after his father's death or, perhaps,
before. I have not yet been able to find out if he went to live with his birth-mother's
family after his mother's death or, indeed, did live with his father and his stepmother
and I am just assuming that after his father's death he went to live somewhere else as he
was not on the census of 1850. But I would very much like to know what happened to Hudson.
It was a such lot for a little boy to have endured....the loss of his mother by death at
his birth, the loss of his father by death at abt. age 3 years, the possible loss of his
stepmother in his life who, possibly, was the only mother he had ever known by the time he
was 6 years old, the loss by death of his half-sister, Marsha SLAUGHTER, sometime as a
young boy and whatever else came his way by the time he joined the Confederate Army at age
16 years old. Then my mother tells me that there was, apparently, a son of Hudson
SLAUGHTER and wife, Clarissa "Clara" WILLIAMS named Henry SLAUGHTER was
killed in a horseback riding accident at age 16 years old. Their 2nd son, Louis Hector
SLAUGHTER, who married 2 times with children before he married my grandmother, Ethel
Rosalee HATTEN whose first husband was Joseph Marion WOMACK and they lived in Winn
Parish and West Carroll Parish, LA. As far as I know Henry and Louis were the only two
children of Clarissa "Clara" WILLIAMS and Henry SLAUGHTER. Ethel Rosalee HATTEN
and Louis Hector SLAUGHTER had two children, Patrick LaMoyne SLAUGHTER, and my mother,
Ethel LaVerne SLAUGHTER. After Louis's death in 1937 my grandmother never remarried and
she died in 1950. Also, just in case, does anyone know anything about the family of
the above mentioned Clarissa "Clara" WILLIAMS, born: abt. 1845, mother:
Elizabeth ? WILLIAMS, was she WILLIAMS by birth, born: abt. 1800 - 1810 in Ohio, and
father: William WILLIAMS, born: abt. 1795 in Maryland. There are brothers of Clarissa and
they lived in Franklin Parish, LA. There is another Clarissa "Clara" WILLIAMS
that married Christopher Columbus "C.C." SLAUGHTER in the late 1800's. I think
that Clarissa "Clara" WILLIAMS was descended from Daniel Green WILLIAMS
and I think that the C. C. SLAUGHTER, Jr. may have been the son of Christopher Columbus
"C.C." SLAUGHTER, Sr., son of Reverend George Webb SLAUGHTER, who descend from
the family that the above mentioned John M. SLAUGHTER and father, Owen SLAUGHTER, II,
descend from. My grandfather, Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, who died in his late 60's when my
mother, his daughter, LaVerne (Ethel LaVerne) SLAUGHTER, was only 7 years old, but she has
always remembered him telling her that C.C. SLAUGHTER and Texas Ranger "Texas"
John SLAUGHTER were cousins. This information led me to find the SLAUGHTER family that we
descend from after much searching but it seems quite possibly that there was an even
closer connection and that may be through this younger C.C. SLAUGHTER that married
Clarissa WILLIAMS in Bienville Parish, LA abt. 1897 and Clarissa WILLIAMS' father died in
Dallas, TX where the older C.C.'s family lived. It is possible that this younger Mrs. C.
C. SLAUGHTER/Clarissa WILLIAMS SLAUGHTER might possibly be a neice or cousin to my great
grandmother who was Mrs. Hudson H. SLAUGHTER/Clarissa WILLIAMS SLAUGHTER. Other
distinguishing features about this information was that my grandfather, Louis Hector
SLAUGHTER, spoke of Indian and French heritage and my mother remembers seeing a picture of
what she remembers as one set of grandparents that were very Indian in appearance......and
her memory regarding this information was as though it were rather close in time to her
father......but I have yet to find that in the SLAUGHTER lineage and I have greatly
wondered if the 'secret' might lie within the WILLIAMS lineage. There are HARRIS,
WILLIAMS, MADISON, BOLTON, WEBB and many other surnames married into this SLAUGHTER
lineage frequently and they apparently cross over into these other lines as well. Any
information regarding any of this would be greatly appreciated. In advance, I thank you.

Notes for W

ILLIAM HORTON VI:

William Horton was a very successful planter in Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Alabama.
He was born in Wake County, North Carolina in 1812. When William was about 10 years old,
the family moved to Alabama, settling eventually in Pleasant Ridge, GReene county, in
1824. In

In 1859, according to unsubstantiated Pickens County newspaper, William Horton
purchased "Sipsey Mills," located on the Sipsey River a few miles from Pleasant
Ridge, from Colonel Lanier, later commander of the 42nd Alabama Infantry, and his
associates. The selling price of $10,000 was paid in coin. This quanitity of hard cash
could not be obtained in Greene or Pickens County, and William Horton travelled by
streamboat to Mobile where, likely upon credit of sale of his cotton, he got this sum in
coin and placed it in one or more nail keggs. On landing at Horton's landing at the Mouth
of Sipsey after dark, William Horton, not wishing to travel after sunset, sat upon the
keg(s) all night, by some accounts with his pistol drawn, until he could travel safely to
the mill north of Pleasant Ridge and settle the agreement with Lanier and associates.

This mill was subsequently burned on the morning of April 6, 1865 by elements of the
United States Army, under the command of Brig. Gen. Croxton, who had earlier burned the
University of Alabama in Tusculoosa. In reports this mill is referred to as "Lanier's
Mill" and "Sipsey Mills." There were apparently two mills on the Sipsey
River about two miles apart. A quantity of bacon and flour were taken by Croxton's
arsenists. Later that afternoon, while retreating back toward Northport, General Wert
Adams' brigade of CSA cavalry engaged Croxton's brigade, driving the Lincolnites further
toward Northport until they made a stand at Romulus. At least two ambulances and General
Croxton's personal baggage wagon were captured by the Confederates. According to the
"Military History of Mississippi 1803-1898" by Dunbar Rowland, the affair
occurred thus:

"In the latter part of March, 1865, General Adams marched his brigade, including
Wood's Regiment, from Jackson to Macon and West Point, to join General Forrest, and was
ordered to meet Croxton's Brigade of the Federal expedition under General Wilson. Adams
marched with his command from Columbus to Pickensville, April 5, and on the 6th attacked
the rear of Croxton's column, causing it to turn from the Eutaw road toward Tusculoosa.
Adams pursued through the day but could not force Croxton to turn and give battle until
about dark, when the Federal cavalry halted in a very favorable position. They were soon
driven by a gallant charge of Wood's Regiment, in which Captain Luckett fell, leading his
squadron. Thence Croxton retreated on the gallop toward Tuscaloosa. The roads were almost
impassable. Adams lost 9 killed and 25 wounded. The Federal loss he estimated at 75 killed
and captured, and he took all the ambulances and personal baggage of General Croxton.

Colonel Moorman wrote from Canton (Mississippi) May 4: 'Should the war cease now you
would have the honor of having won the last victory on Confederate soil and in the
Confederate cause.' Thus was the battle near Pleasant Ridge which followed the destruction
of the mill of William Horton which he had just purcased six years before.

OHN D.5 HORTON (JESSE4, AMOS3, AMOS2,
DANIEL1) was born May 9,
1814 in Buffalow District, Wake County, North Carolina10, and died
October 17, 1882 in Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Alabama10. He married
(1) MARY COLEMAN February 21, 1835 in Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Alabama. She was born
November 4, 1814 in Alabama10, and died November 29, 1843 in Pleasant
Ridge, Greene County, Alabama10. He married (2) JULIA HOLLY June 18, 1845 in Greene
County, Alabama. She was born February 20, 1817 in North Carolina10, and
died July 17, 1858 in Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Alabama10.

Leaving Tuscaloosa April 5, 1865, some of General Croxton's forces passed to the
southwest through Pickens County. While at the Sipsey Mill Bridge previously mentioned,
General Wirt Adams' command coming from the north overtook the rear guard and after some
time consumed in "closing up" a sharp attack was made which developed into a
running fight which lasted until 8 o'clock that night.General Croxton here repearted his
retreating tactics which took him back to Tuscaloosa. He halted long enough, however, to
form an ambuscade the springing of which resulted in the killling of the captain and two
men of General Adams' leading company. His own loss was two officers and thirty men, two
ambulances, one containing his personal effects including his dress univorm. During one of
the melees occurring that afternoon, a Union major became unhorsed and unable to catch a
remount, or keep pace with the retreating column, took to the woods afoot and alone. After
comparative quiet was restored an old farmer of the neighborhood appeared and learning of
the escape, or 'runaway' employing the vernacular of the country in the antebellum period,
he determined at once to capture him upon his own initiative. Returning home he took down
his hunting horn, one blast of which if not worth a thousand men, at least assembled his
pack of hounds. Reaching the late field of action he struck a hot trail and soon had the
major treed. Tradition has not preserved the exact language vociferated during the process
of capitulation, but it is safe to imagine that it was not modish, or at all conciliatory
in character. The major's strenuous protest was not so much against the necessity of
unconditional surrender, but the humiliation of being barked at by
"nigger-dogs." Love, 1895

(I take it that John D. Horton visited the site of the battle, just down the road from
his plantation as can be seen from the map, learned from persons there that this had
befallen the major commanding the 6th Kentucky, and returned to his home to assemble his
hounds on his own initiative. He then came back to the battlefield site and the hounds
found the trail. So the fugitives were captured near the battlefield, not on or near John
D .Horton=s plantation. I wonder if the major was actually treed or just cornered at
gunpoint. One would also wonder if he had retained any sidearms; sounds like he didn't. )

One of those lost men was Major William H. Fidler. Fidler was commanding the Sixth
Kentucky Cavalry when it was attacked by Adams' brigade. It so happened that they wandered
into the locality where lived John D. Horton, a well-to-do farmer. His sons were in the
Confederate service, and he was an ardent Southern sympathizer. He had a fine pack of
trained hounds and with these dogs he followed and captured Major Fidler and two privates.
Mr. Horton carried the three prisoners to Eutaw and there placed them in jail. They
remained in this jail until Eutaw was taken by the Federals, who liberated them on April
21st (on this same day Major Fidler was paroled at Vicksburg, so he must have taken the
express train from Eutaw).

"Later, when Fidler was released he went to Vicksburg to get transportation back
North. At Vicksburg he boarded the steamer Sultana. The Sultana was overloaded with men
and the boiler exploded when steam pressure was increased past its limit. Miller, 1979

One of the men lost was Major W.H. Fielder (sic), an officer connected with the
Kentucky troops, one of Croxton's principal officers. It so happened that they wandered
into the locality where lived John D. Horton, a well-to-do farmer. His sons were in the
Confederate service, and he was an ardent Southern sympathizer. He had a fine pack of
trained hounds and with these dogs he followed and captured this Major Fielder (sic) and
two privates. Mr. Horton carried the three prisoners to Eutaw and there placed them in
jail. Clinton, 1904

Major Fidler and his men, meanwhile, were hiding in the woods trying to elude
Confederate horsemen. They evidently took to the swamps around Shambley Creek. John D.
Horton, William's brother, became aware of their presence and gathered up his
"runaway dogs," trained to execute the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Act. He
then returned to the skirmish site and the hounds found the trail. One source says that
the three were literally treed by the hounds. At any rate John D. Horton apprehended one
officer and two privates of the 6th Kentucky Cavalry, and, according to some sources, with
the aid of the local home guard, delivered the three to the Sheriff to incarcerate them in
the Greene County Jail. It is possible that these were the last Federal soldiers captured
and confined as prisoners-of-war, at least east of the Mississippi. (There is more the
rest of the story of Maj. Fidler, but he made it aboard the Sultana in Vicksburg, on which
he was the ranking POW, and was lost with the boat north of Memphis)

Notes for M

ARY COLEMAN:

Mary Coleman Horton gave birth to an infant daughter which died or was still born. The
date is unknown. Mary Coleman Horton died November 29, 1843, one month and one week after
delivering Jesse Habbard Horton, son who died 10 months and 13 days later on August 4,
1844. It is reasonable to speculate that Mary's death was due to complications of the
delivery, possibly a pelvic infection, a common sequelae postpartum in those days. Jesse
Habbard was evidently a frail child to die at 10 months of age.

Private L(eonidas) A. Horton enlisted in Company B, 4th Battalion Mississippi Cavalry,
on November 14, 1861 in Columbus, Mississippi, by Captain Yancey, for the period of one
year. That same day he was appointed Sergeant. He appears on a muster roll of Company D,
8th Reg't Confederate Cavalry on September 1, 1862. This roll covered the period from
January 1 to September 1, 1862. He was last paid by Captain Hamilton on January 1, 1862.
On August 8, 1862 he was reduced to the ranks, though there is no indication of the reason
of this reduction in grade.

This company was formerly Company B, 4th Battalion Mississippi Cavalry, and Company B,
2nd (Brewer's) Battalion Mississippi and Alabama Cavalry.

The 8th (Wade's) Regiment Confederate Cavalry (also known as the 2nd Regiment
Mississippi and Alabama Cavalry) was formed in May, 1862, by the addition of three
companies, which had formerly served in the 1st (Beall's) Battalion Alabama Cavalry, to
the 2nd (Brewer's) Battalion Mississippi and Alabama Cavalry.

According to his messmate, J.A.G., Leonidas A. Horton "died of typhoid pneumonia
near Shelbyville, Tennessee, February 9, 1863, son of John D. Horton of Greene County,
Alabama, in the 21st year of his age.

"He was suddenly and violently attacked (by the typhoid pneumonia) and survived
but the short period of ten days (i.e., he contracted typhoid on January 31, 1863). The
deceased was a member of the McCaa Rangers, Company D, 8th Confederate Regiment of
Cavalry. He entered service on his country for the war in the fall of 1861, under the
gallant Captain McCaa. He was a faithful slodier performing all the duties required of him
with cheerfulness. He shirked no duty when able to perform it. He was in most of the
skirmishes that his command was engaged in and acquitted himself with honor.( Wheeler's
cavalry slept on the field of battle the night of the 31st. Next day it operated in the
rear of the enemy, on the pikes leading toward Nashville, repeating the destruction of
trains. These trains were loaded with officers and men wounded, and bound for the
hospitals of

wounded Jany. 1st in one of these attacks on the trains. The officer was

lifted from his saddle by Sergeants Alfred Atwater and A. C. Oxford, and

taken to a farmhouse nearby where he died that night. The detail of four

men that had been sent to bear him to the house were employed the next

morning in making a box for the body and digging a grave. A company of

the enemy came up and arrested them. Sergeant Oxford gave the Royal Arch

Mason's society "obligation" to the Captain, whereupon the prisoners

were released. Pickens County, Ala. contributed no nobler man or more

gallant soldier to the Confederacy than Captain B. B. McCaa). He (L.A. Horton) was
engaged in all the cavalry movements in the enemy's rear during the great fight at
Murfreesboro and was near his beloved Captain when he fell, gallantly leading the charge
against the Abolitionist legions near Levergne on the evening of January 1, 1863. In his
company he was highly esteemed by his officers and fellow soldiers-- none knew him but
respect him. As a soldier, he was gallant, patriotic, and generous; as a friend, he was
true and obliging.

"Often has his sprightly wit caused the merry laugh to ring around the glowing
camp-fire. Alas: we shall see his noble form and listen to his wit and merry laugh no
more, for the brave soldier has left this land of war and trouble. Though far from parents
and sisters yet he was affectionately cared for and I hope they will strive to meet their
son and brother in the better world where war, death, and trouble will never enter."

Notes for AMOS HORTON VI:

From the Memorial Record of Alabama, 1893, Vol 1:

"Amos Horton, an extensive farmer and stock-breeder, living at Pleasant Ridge, was
born in Greene County, Ala., September 16, 1847. He is the son of William and Marcia
(Ford) Horton. The Horton family is a very ancient one, and its genealogy is as follows,
with however, a missing link between the faimly of Amos Horton and the ancient family of
Horton, which is is believed possible to supply. Robert De Horton manumitted a bondsman to
his manor of Horton, long before the time of Henry Lacy, earl of Lincoln, wh died in 1310.
It has also been ascertained that the Hortons had a manor house in Grant Horton, at a
remote period. The word Horton, in Anglo-Saxon, means a vegetable garden. It is said to be
derived from "ort" and "tan", "ort" meaning
"plant" and "tun", "enclosed" or "an enclosure."
It is known in England ever since the conquest by Julius Caesar. The Horton coat of arms
in England is as follows: A stag's head, embossed in silver and gold. The motto,
"Quod cult, caile cult" (What he wills, he wills cordially), expresses a
sentiment which can be traced in the present generation of Hortons, as one of their chief
characterists. William Horotn, of Frith House in Barksland, Halifax, sescended from the
above-named Robert De Horton. Barnabus Horton, the ancestor of the Hortons in America,
came to America, in the ship "Swallow," between the year 1633 and 1638, and
landed at Hampton, Mass. William Horton, the father of Amos Horton, was born near Raleigh,
Wake County, (NC) in 1812. He was a wealthy planter and large slave-holder owning 100
slaves. He emigrated to Alabama at an early age and settled in Blount County. Miss Marcia
Ford, whom he married, was born in Alabama, and spent her life in Greene County. There
maried about 1836,a nd became the parents of six children, three only of whom are ilving,
viz: Henry A. Horton, a farmer in Greene County; Amos Horton, and Mattie Snedicor, widow
of J. W. Snedicor, of Birmingham, Ala. His first wife having died, Mr. William Horton
married Mrs. Mary Tillman, by whom he has had eight children--seven sons and one
daughter--as follows: Rufus K. Horton, a wealthy and progressive planter, living near
Pleasant Ridge; Robert L. Horton, a resident of Meridian, Miss.; Moses B. Horton,
unmarried, and living near Pleasant Ridge, on a farm; William Manassas Horton, born on the
day of the first battle of Manassas, hence his name; he is a dentist at Tuscaloosa, Ala.;
John R. Horton, a farmer of Greene County; Clarence S. (?) Horton, physician in the
hospital in New Orleans; Fred Horton, who died in 1878; and Mary E. Horton, unmarried, and
living near Pleasant Ridge. with her mother. Amos Hroton is the grandson of Jesse Horton,
a native of North Carolina(?), and a great-grandson of Amos Horton, a captain in the
Revolutionary War, under Gen. Marion. Amos Horton was married to Miss Sallie Richardson, a
native of Greene County, and a daughter of Grief Richardson and Drucilla (Taylor)
Richardson; both were born in 1808, the former in Lunenberg, and the latter in Pendleton,
S. C. She was a daughter of Samuel Taylor, who was among the first settlers of Greene
County. He was a son of Samuel Taylor, who was a colonel in the Revolutionary army, and
quite a distinguished soldier,having been the first to fight the British in South
Carolina. He lost a leg during the war, and fought with a price offered for his head by
the British governor,and consequently could not be properly considered a prisoner of war
(assuming he was captured). He received a large Revolutionary bounty, which place his
family in affluent circumstances. James Taylor, the father of Col. Samuel Taylor, came
over from england as one of the king's officers, and settled upon a farm upon which the
city of Philadelphia now stands. The place was known as the Stone House farm. Mrs Horton's
parents were married in 1830, and to them were born seven children; four are living, as
follows: John T. Richardson, a real estate dealer in Birmingham, Ala.; Leonnora
Richardson, wife of C. McAdory, of Bessemer, Ala.; Ida Richardson, wife of J. R. Rockett,
of Birmingham, Ala., Sallie Richardson, wife of Amos Horton, of Pleasant Ridge, Ala. Three
are dead, as follows: Mary Virginia, wife of B.T. Higginbotham, died in 1853; Dr. William
H. Richardson was killed at Spottsylvania Court House, Va., in 1864, while in command of a
company on the Eleventh Alabama regiment Confederate States army; infant son, died at an
early age. Mrs Horton's maternal great-grandfather was a well known and able minister of
the Presbyterian church: Rev Dr. Thomas Reese, born in Pennsylvania in 1742, graduated
from Princeton College with great honor, and the degree of D. D.; was licensed to preach
in 1773, and was the first Carolinian to be so honored by Princeton. He was a thorough
scholar, and was well versed in mental and moral philosophy as well as theology. He was
the author of the work entitled "The Influence of Religion on Civil Society,"
which, if it had been written from the other side of the Atlantic, might have done credit
to the pen of a Warburton or a Paley. He died near Pendleton, S.C., in 1799, and was
buried near the old stone church. To Amos Horton and his wife have been born six children,
of whom three sons are living, viz: William Taylor Horton, bonr December 12,1871, Hugh
Clifford Horton, bonr NOvember 7, 1872, graduated from the University of Alabama, in June
1892, having taken a classical course; Charles Richardson Horton, born January 5, 1875.
Amos Horton was a cadet furing the late War, subject to state orders,and served a short
time in Mobile, Ala. He owns 1,800 acres of land in Greene County, which is in a high

The following tribute to Sara Lee Horton was written by her neice, Marian Burke Treakle
in August 1995:

Sara Lee Horton was born on January 19, 1901 at Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Alabama.
She was the fourth daughter born to Civille and Moses Horton. The birth of a son was to
follow in a couple of years. Sara's father owned and operated a large cotton plantation,
and until the boll weevil invaded and began to destroy the crops they must have enjoyed a
comfortable and contented lifestyle. At that time and during the early years of the 20th
Century, I have heard that Pleasant Ridge was quite a bustling community, with much of the
life of the community centering around the activities of this historic Presbyterian Church
where we now gather to celebrate the life of Sara Horton. Following the devastation of the
cotton industry, Moses Horton decided to move his family to Tuscaloosa. Sara and her
siblings attended school there where she later earned a Bachelor of ARts degree from the
University of Alabama. In later years she also was granted a Master's Degree in Education
from the University of Maryland.

For a number of years, Sara lived in Miami, Florida where she was a teacher of Home
Economics at Miami Beach High School.

World War II was approaching and she decided to join a branch of the service, choosing
to become a WAVE in the United States Navy. Sara served stateside at several Naval Air
Stations and eventually attained the rank of Lieutenant.

Following her discharge from the Navy, Sara again returned to teaching for a brief
period, deciding later to become a Home Demonstration Agent living in various places and
traveling throughout the State of Florida before settling in West Palm Beach as her last
post. There she built a home for herself where she enjoyed a full life with many friends
for about twenty years. Active in church work, she remained a devout Presbyterian
throughout her lifetime. She chose as her final home Westminster Towers Retirement
community in Orlando, where she spent the final 18 years of her life.

Sara was a happy person and she did much to bring warmth and sheer to her side circle
of friends and her family to whom she was extremely devoted. She was always there for all
of us and she will be sorely missed, but we will hold fast to the memory of Sara and what
she meant to each of us in our lives.

The following was written by Sara Lee Horton in October 1978:

"Most of the material related here was given me by Aunt Mary, my father's only
sister; some was gleaned from conversations of my father. Most of the dates were copied by
me from tombs in the Horton family cemetary and Pleasant Ridge cemetary, both in Greene
County, Alabama.

"Amos Horton, our great, great grandfather was a captain in the Revolutionary War
under General Marion. However, some family tradition said he had charge of the First
Militia of South Carolina during the war. One note I have said his name have been Jesse or
William. The Hortons are supposed to have settled in Virginia prior to residence in South
Carolina. I have a number of references, documented by courthouse and parish records of
Hortons in Virginia prior to South Carolina dates. It is interesting that the names
William, Jesse, and Amos, frequently used in our family, occur in them.

Jesse Horton, our great grandfather was born in Hanging Rock, South Carolina. He moved
to North Carolina where he married Sarah ("Sallie") Chamblee. They had three
sons and nine daughters. Aunt Mary could recall only eight of their names. Two of them
were married to Berry King (?), and after one of the weddings, he took his bride home on
horseback in front of him! (?) Jesse moved to Alabama about 1820 or 1822, perhaps as early
as 1816 or 1818, and settled near Blount Springs, Blount County, Alabama. Two of the sons,
William (my grandfather) and "Jack" moved to Greene County, Alabama, when quite
young. They were the first white settlers of the county and entered a section of land from
the Government. At the time, there were many Indians in the County, William became a very
wealthy planter, owning 100 slaves. During our childhood there were still a number of
negroes named Horton living aound Pleasant Ridge.

William Horton, our grandfather, was born near Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. He
was married twice-first to Marcia Ford, then to Mary Emily Kirkland Tillman (our
grandmother) who was a widow with one daughter, Ophelia. From his first marriage, there
were six children and seven from the second. All the children received a good education at
the Archibald Academy (Union Academy) at Pleasant Ridge, a well-known institution in that
region with many boarding students coming from the surrounding country. Three pursued
further study. William became a dentist, Mary graduated from the Tuscaloosa Female College
in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Clarence, after attending the University of Alabama, completed
his study of medicine at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany. Our father, Moses,
"read law" (the procedure for studying law then) in a judge's office in Eutaw,
but never took the state bar to become a licensed practicing attourney.

Since many years have elapsed, perhaps I can relate with impunity a couple of
"family skeletons" which I've heard from Papa and Aunt Mary. Their half-sister,
Martha Jane, affectionately called "Sis Matt," was married to Dr. (Isaac Newton)
Snedicor. When her father died, she inherited quite a bit of money, but as women in that
day were not allowed to own anything in their own names, it was all in Dr. Snedicor's
name. One day she asked him for a check for $50, as I recall the amount, which she
proceeded to raise to $500 or $5000, thus retrieving some of her own money back. With
this, she bought a dilapidated piece of property in Birmingham, improved and sold it for a
profit. Repeating this idea several times made her a very wealthy woman. Somewhere along
the line, she divorced Dr. Snedicor-an unheard-of act in those days! Aunt Mary and my
father spoke with great admiration of "Sis Matt's" astuteness, but on other
occasions Papa would say "Sis Matt is the devil." When I was a teenager, he
remarked sometimes that I was like "Sis Matt" then to tease him I'd ask,
"Smart or the devil?" I have a small daquerreotype of her given me by Aunt Mary
because of my resemblance to her.

Money often creates controversy in families-ours is no exception. At the time of my
grandfather's death, there being no banks then, money was kept on a big iron safe at home.
Uncle Amos was executor of the estate ot which, at the time, he was heavily indebted.
Finally, our grandmother (Amos' stepmother) had him hlegally removed as executor, but he
meerged owing the estate nothing and a very wealthy man! He was a pompous individual,
living the life of a Southern gentleman with fine saddle horses and a large pack of
blooded fox hounds. Aunt Carrie (Amos' second wife) resented the money he paid for them.
Once when he paid $75 for one, she was so angry she went out and paid $40 for a hat! When
I was 8 or 9, he gave me my very first ready-made dress- a white organdie with tiny tucks,
lace and a bertha. I must have been very proud of my "store-bought" dress for a
group photograph of us cousins at this time shows me on the first row decked in the white
organdie in the dead of winter.

In 1939, Aunt Mary and I visited Pleasant Ridge together. She took me to the old Horton
family cemetary I'd never known existed before. Here in the middle of a cotton field,
across the highway from where Grandpapa's home once stood (it was burned in 1938 by
arson), was an oasis of trees. As we drew near, among the brambles and briars, could be
seen many old tombs- some still standing, many tumbled and the inscriptions illegible.
Hortons of several generations rest there including our great grandfather Jesse, and his
wife, Sarah."

A memorial service (September 8, 1995) was held at the Presbyterian Church in Pleasant
Ridge, Alabama, eith the Rev. Shelby Neese of Brandon, Miss., officiating and
Stabler-Robbins Funeral Home of Aliceville directing.

Sara Horton was a graduate of the University of Alabama and earned a master's degree
from the University of Maryland. She attained the rank of lieutenant in the United States
Navy during World War II. She taught school in Miami, Florida for many years and spent the
last 18 years of her life in Orlando, Forida.

Survivers include four nieces, a nephew, and other relatives and friends.

ILLIAM HENDERSON EATMAN:

From " A University of Alabama Cadet" by Unknown

IN the spring of 1865, General James H. Wilson gave orders to General John Croxton to
go to Tuscaloosa and tear down all the factories and iron works. He also told Croxton to
burn the University of Alabama. The University had been giving military training to the
students. This is why Northern soldiers felt they should burn the school. When the news
came to Tuscaloosa that the Northern soldiers were coming, many of the cadets in training
at the University joined the Tuscaloosa Home Guard. Two of these students were William
Henderson Eatman and Baxter Bragg Comer (Comer later became Governor of Alabama). Most of
the boys were in their teens. As william Eatman was born May 16, 1846, this would have
made him about 19- just about the age one would inagine Henry to have been (?).

Croxton's brigade numbered 1,500 men. They moved on Tuscaloosa from the north, crossing
the Warrior River over the Northport Bridge, and captured the town on April 2, 1865 and
burning the University on April 3, 1865. The Home Guard and Cadets resistance was
short-lived as they were soon ordered to retreat when their officers saw the battle was
lost.

Croxton's men burned a hat factory, destroyed the public stairs (?), etc. They
interrupted a wedding and arrested the male guests, and siexed the artillery of the
University of Alabama Cadets. Croxton Burned all the University of Alabama buildings
except three. Ironically, one of the buildings not burned was the Roundhouse. This
building was built to store ammunition for the military training during the war. After
Croxton burned the University, Dr. L. C. Garland, president of the University, which had
continued the training of the cadets during the war, then let them out of town. One source
says they marched to Marion, Perry County. Can you imagine what took place during this
march. I'm sure these young men had not prepared for the 60-odd miles they had to go. They
probably had to sleep out in the open without tents. I'm sure when they got to Marion,
they were hot, thirsty, dirty, and all 3-400 cadets had sore feet. (Moore's History of
Alabama tells us that there were between 300 and 400 enrolled at the time)

Since the University was burned and the students could not return to school and earn
their diplomas, in 1914 the University confered honorary diplomas to the students that
applied for them. Years later the sons of William H. Eatman and Baxter Bragg Comer, Thomas
N. Eatman and Donald Comer would get together and swap stories about what their fathers
told them about the burning of the University of Alabama and the part they played during
the ordeal.

In 1983, when she was attending the University, Lynn Allison Gray was officially
presented the diploma of her great-great-grandfather William Henderson Eatman on the front
lawn of the President's Mansion by Dr. Joab Thomas president of the University.

The following article appeared in the Tuscaloosa News:

UA students gets diploma 116 years late.

William Henderson Eatman left the University of Alabama in 1865 to join the Confederat
Army- and he never received a diploma. But some 116 years later, his
great-great-granddaughter has accepted the diploma for him.

The oversight was discovered when Eatman's granddaugher, Lara Kate Gray of Pell City,
was gathering up some of Eatman's photographs of pre-Civil War University days to donate
to the school.

Among the photographs was an envelope, postmarked April 1914, which contained a letter
awarding William Henderson Eatman an honorary degree where the University held special
ceremonies to recognize students who served in the Confederat Army.

Laura Kate Gray sent a copy of the letter to the University along with the photographs.
The letter found its was to Joyce Lamont, curator of the library's special collections,
who recognized the letter's significance.

School officials took a blank diploma from the school's vault on which was pre-printed
the signature of George Denny, then-president, and Emmet O'Neal, then Govornor of Alabama.
After lettering in Eatman's name, the diploma was presented to Lynne Allison Gray,
Eatman's great-great-granddaughter, who currently is majoring in business at the
University.

OHN A. HORTON:

From the Memorial Record of Alabama, 1893

John A. Horton, a planter residing near Carrollton, Pickens County, Ala., was bron

Jesse Horton, a native of North Carolina, who was a planter. John D. Horton was a native
of North Carolina, born in Wake County, in 1814, and when he was five years old his
parents brought him to Alabama and settled in Blount County. This was in 1819. In 1822
they removed to Greene County and settled near Pleasant Ridge, where they both died. John
D. Horton was reared on a farm and educated at the common schools of the day. He was twice

T. C. Bunting, a farmer of Pickens County; Anna, wife of W. F. Eatman, farmer of Pickens
County; George, a farmer residing near Clinton; Robert L., a resident of Mississippi, and
John A. Those deceased were named Mary and Lillie. The father of this family died near
Pleasant Ridge, Greene County, Ala., October 8, 1882, the mother having died in June,
1857. He was a practical and prominent farmer, never aspiring to political honors,
retiring in his dispositions. and, like all the Horton, principally devoted to and largely
engaged in agriculture. John A. Horton was reared on a farm and received his education at
the academy at Pleasant Ridge. He was married to Miss Minnie M. Puckett, a native of
Pickens County, Ala., who was born November 18, 1855. She is the daughter of William W.
and Frances (McCafferty) Puckett, the former of whom was a native of Alabama, born in
Greene County, October 20, 1827, and the latter a native of South Carolina, born in Union

William Dunlap, and Mattie. Mr. and Mrs Puckett were married in 1852, and they now live on
the farm settled upon by Mr. Puckett's father in 1836, the house then erected by him being
one of the first frame houses built in Pickens County. The timbers of this house were cut
by hand, and the lumber sawed by a sawmill water-powered mill, some five miles from
Carrollton, the only mill then in Pickens county. THe house is still in a good stage of
preservation. Mr. Puckett's father was a native of Pennsylvania, but removed to Virginia,
remaining there a short time and then going on to South Carolina, and located at Abbeville
District, whence he removed, in 1812, to Greene County, Ala. He was one of the first
settlers in that County. Here he remained until 1836. He then moved to Pickens county,
where died in 1845. his widow surviving him until 1864. Mrs. Horton's maternal grandfather
was William McCafferty, and his wife was Ann Gregory. They were both natives of South
Carolina, and came to PIckens County, Ala., in 1834. He died in 1867, and she in 1879.

Thank you for posting the wonderfully complete Horton Family History online! I am
working with a descedent of Martha Jane "Sis Mattie" Horton Snedecor (dau of
William H. Horton and Marcia L. Ford of Greene Co. AL) and was thrilled to find so much
information about her family.

You have already noted that Martha "Mattie" Horton married Isaac Newton
Snedecor. This is correct; the marriage date I have is 1870, Greene Co. AL. Isaac Newton
Snedecor was son of Col. James Snedecor and his wife Sarah "Sallie" O'Rear. The
Snedecors arrived in Greene Co. AL c1820-1830 and also owned many acres of land in
Pleasant Ridge.

Their daughter Ola "Ophelia" Dayton Snedecor married Percy Bradford Merry of
Augusta GA c1899-1900. She died, age 36, in December 1915 and is buried in a Snedecor
family plot at Oak Hill Cemetery in Birmingham. Ola and Percy B. Merry had two sons:
Bradford Percy (b 1906) and Horace (1908). I am working with the granddaughter of Bradford
P. Merry, Augusta GA.--they possess a set of monogrammed (MHS) sterling flatware,
tradition says was owned by Mattie Snedecor Merry.

I noted (somewhere? I think in your notes) that Mattie Horton and Isaac N. Snedecor
were divorced. Where can I find this information? It is a very interesting fact,
especially in light of Mr. Snedecor's active participation of the founding of Stillman
Institute in Tuscaloosa, apparently a Presbyterian-funded school to educate young black
men to go into the Presbyterian ministry.

Thank you again for this goldmine of Horton family information. I will be happy to
share whatever information I have and would love to know details of the Mattie
Horton-Isaac Snedecor marriage.

Notes for E

VERETT CLARENCE OWENS II:

Everett C. Owens, Jr. was born in 1914 just one year before his grandfather Hugh
Lafayette Owens died. "Fate" likely just bearly had opportunity to enjoy his
first grandson. Everett's younger brother Robert or "Bob" was his constant
companion, sharing chores, milking cows, hauling cotton, scaling logs in their father and
uncles' saw mill, and fighting each other. Not infrequently did the elder Everett have to
take the switch to the boys. He with the rest of his siblings rode a school bus to Eutaw
High School after the grammer school in Pleasant Ridge was completed. A favorite of
Everett's in school was literature, particularly Shakespear and Coleridge's "Rime of
the Ancient Mariner." While he wanted and knew all the lines of Mark Anthony in
"Julius Cesar" he only got parts such as Second Citizen, with lines such as
"Hail Cesar!"

Everett graduated from Eutaw High School in 1932, and joined the Civilian Conservation
Corps in July 1933, the year of its inception by FDR, when it was administered by the U.S.
Army. He was in a CCC camp in Bay Minnette until December 1933 and worked on what is now
Claude Kelly State Park. The activities of the camp included clearing trees and building
roads in the woods. During this time he participated in the boxing matches held in the
camp. In 1934 he enrolled at Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn.

After graduation in May 1938, Everett was employed by the Soil Conservation Service,
Montgomery, Alabama, as a Soil Conservation Field Service Technician for one year,
September 1938 to September 1939. In this capacity he planned cropping systems and
supervised work in Butler County, Alabama. Also he farmed on a beef cattle, corn, and
cotton farm.

In September 1939 Everett took a position with Farm Security Administration as a County
Agricultural Agent, at Troy, Alabama. He worked in this position until March 1942, when he
entered active service with the United States Army. In this position with Farm Security,
Everett supervised the making of farm loans, use of loans, and farm work. He checked on
crop and chattel security of loans, also collecting and making payments of loans when due.
